Medical Xpress / Researchers identify a new stem cell patch to gently heal damaged hearts
Mayo Clinic researchers have developed a pioneering method to mend damaged hearts without open-heart surgery, an advance that could one day transform the treatment of heart failure.
Phys.org / East African Rift study uncovers why breaking up is hard for some continents
Tulane University researchers, collaborating with an international team of scientists, have discovered why some parts of Earth's crust remain strong while others give way, overturning long-held assumptions about how continents ...
Phys.org / Electrified atomic vapor system enables new nanomaterial mixtures
Vapor-phase synthesis, a technique used to create very pure and scalable nanomaterials and coatings, has great promise for the electronic, optical, aerospace, energy and environment, and semiconductor industries.
Tech Xplore / Metros cut car use in European cities, but trams fall short
People drive significantly less in European cities with a metro system than in cities that only have trams or no rail-based public transport at all. This is shown by a new study from the Complexity Science Hub (CSH), published ...
Tech Xplore / How AI can track hockey action from faceoff to finish
Researchers at the University of Waterloo have developed two innovative artificial intelligence (AI) systems that significantly improve how hockey games can be analyzed using video footage without the need for expensive equipment.
Medical Xpress / Real-world responses reveal which patients benefit most from new schizophrenia drug
Each year, about 100,000 Americans experience psychosis, a serious condition that disrupts thoughts and perceptions so profoundly that it can distort a person's sense of reality.
Phys.org / Scanning nanoprobe microscope reveals the hidden flexibility of cancer cells
Researchers at the Nano Life Science Institute (WPI-NanoLSI), Kanazawa University, report in ACS Applied Nano Materials a new method to precisely measure nuclear elasticity—the stiffness or softness of the cell nucleus—in ...
Phys.org / Deep-sea mining waste threatens life and foodwebs in the ocean's dim 'twilight zone,' first study of its kind finds
A new study led by researchers at the University of Hawaii (UH) at Mānoa published in Nature Communications is the first of its kind to show that waste discharged from deep-sea mining operations in the Pacific's biodiverse ...
Medical Xpress / Blind volunteers test visual neuroprosthesis that communicates with brain in real time
Blindness profoundly affects people's lives. Around the world, several laboratories, including the Biomedical Neuroengineering Lab at Miguel Hernández University of Elche (UMH), are developing visual prostheses based on ...
Medical Xpress / Teamwork in the inner ear: Our hearing is based on the organized grouping of proteins
Researchers at Göttingen Campus, Germany, have succeeded for the first time in examining the tiny synapses in the inner ear—the points of contact between the hair cells and the auditory nerve cells—at the molecular level. ...
Phys.org / Women perceive sleek and shiny hair as healthier and more youthful, study finds
Straight-aligned hair paired with higher shine evokes the appearance of greater youth, health, and attractiveness, according to researchers at The Procter & Gamble Company, which owns several brands of hair care products, ...
Medical Xpress / AI can speed antibody design to thwart novel viruses
Artificial intelligence (AI) and "protein language" models can speed the design of monoclonal antibodies that prevent or reduce the severity of potentially life-threatening viral infections, according to a multi-institutional ...
